    2lb Peeled shrimp with corn and potatoes, Cajun fries, classic miches.
    Anabel G.

    This place is soooooo delicious! I came here on a weekday and weekend and I was assisted right away. Staff are extremely attentive and super kind. The environment is clean and aesthetic to fit the seafood boil style. I always get the peeled shrimp with potatoes and corn full house and I've tried both hot and medium- just a heads up they are . I as a spice lover thought medium was good for me. The Cajun fries are also so good and always fresh. For drinks, the fish bowl is a HIT and the miches are sooooo fire. Really enjoyed this place and will definitely be coming back, it is now my seafood boil spot! 10/10 recommend.

    Shrimp in Full House Sauce

    I used to come here all the time but hadn't been in a while since we moved farther away. I was recently in town so decided to stop by. Service was quick and our waitress was nice. However, the food was just okay in my opinion. We ordered shrimp in their full house sauce. The sauce wasn't as good as I remembered and the shrimp was a bit overcooked.

    Service was great since the waiter was very friendly and very helpful. They played laid-back music, which had a relaxing vibe. The shrimp was cooked perfectly well, but the potatoes were slightly rough vs. soft. The sauce was bold, spicy, and flavorful. It paired nicely with the shrimp and added a kick to the aftertaste. Will be back to try something else.

    They put their whole neck, back, and crack into their seafood boil. Whoever said this place was alright was definitely lying because I got a shrimp baby cooking in my pansa right now. Servers are nice and funny, drinks were good everything was perfect. You know it's good when you finish the whole bag and still want more.

    1st time here! Ordered the family meals with shrimp, mussels, clams, crawfish, corn, potato and sausage. It was delicious! We had never had seafood boil so we were new to the bibs, no plates or utensils! It was fun to eat! Definitely a different experience. Also ordered the Cajun curly fries, loved the ketchup and ranch sauce too! The garlic bread was tasty! The service was good! Price was reasonable. Lots of food! We're coming back again.

    It was OK. I wouldn't run back. Prices are pretty insane to me, especially because you're not eating fresh caught seafood. I was disappointed with the lack of communication. For example, if you tell me I can substitute an item, then I shouldn't be charged for the new item. It's not like I was discounted for the item they took off. Also, $15. For a kids' meal was insane. The Cajun fries were delicious, but the fish was not good. Over all, it was just ok to me.

    Great service Alexis was very nice ! And the food was so yummmy thank you for the food

    Employee watching show on her phone
    Jennifer Z.

    Service was horrible. Waited for over 30 minutes for someone to ask if we needed anything. Glasses accumulated and wanted to order another drink. There were only 4 people total in the restaurant and both employees were in the back. We watched as they came in and out from the back again not asking if we needed anything. One of the employees eventually came out and did not acknowledge us or the other table. She propped up her phone and proceeded to watch bobs burgers. Owner had just left and I wish I could've spoken to him. Photos of our table before and after have been included along with how myself and who I came with had to clean up because the employees did not offer once to clean up our table.

    No, but there is a pretty large parking lot. So car dining is available.

    Awesome first visit!!! we will definitely be coming back! We ordered the half pound of boil plus…read morethe dozen oysters. Quality of the seafood was so fresh it surprised us honestly! And it was definitely more than enough food for two people!! Service was awesome and the staff were all friendly and warm! We were seated right away because we had gone in on a weekday night so hardly anyone. Everything was fresh and delicious and we enjoyed ourselves!! We will definitely be coming back again!!

    I visited this restaurant yesterday with my cousin, and unfortunately it was a disappointing…read moreexperience. The place was pretty empty, yet the service was still very slow .To be fair, there was only one girl handling everything!! seating guests, taking orders, and serving food, while another man would occasionally come by to drop something off and then disappear. The food was the biggest letdown. The sauce was extremely dark, thick, and bland, with abt 6 large bay leaves in it. It also had a very bitter taste that overpowered everything. On top of that, the menu is very limited, only two combo options. If you want crab and shrimp together, you're forced to buy them separately, and it's not cheap The only upside was that they had a deal where if you spend over $70 before tax, you get a free item from a selected list. Also, the crab meat and shrimp themselves were very meaty and fresh, which is the main reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one. Overall, I wouldn't return. The food , service and price just weren't worth it.

    To my taste, this is by far the best Star Crab location I've been to…read more The owner and staff were genuinely friendly and helpful from start to finish, which already sets the tone. The flavor and seafood were absolutely on point. My group of five ordered the Snow Star Family Bucket with Full House sauce, and everything came out fresh, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. Portions were solid and we all left very full and very satisfied. If I had to nitpick: The mild Full House sauce was a little spicy for something labeled "mild." Still tasty, just a heads-up for anyone sensitive to heat. The fried calamari was good flavor-wise, but it was a bit light on calamari and heavy on fries. Small side note: my wife and I love having boiled eggs with our seafood boil, but unfortunately they don't offer boiled eggs here. Not a deal-breaker, just something we personally missed. Overall though, great food, great service, and a spot I'd happily come back to again. Easily our favorite Star Crab so far.

    A Saturday night visit. We wanted a spot that wasnt overly crowded at 745pm. We were seated right…read moreaway, but they initially placed us at a table in the middle that was too small for our group of six, so we requested a booth along the wall instead. They provided us menus, pretty straightforward; choose seafood, add sides for an extra cost, choose the flavor, and the spice level. One thing not noted on the menu is that shrimp isn't peeled, but they can peel them for an extra $6. And each order comes in pound increments. No half a pound offered. Your table is also covered with paper so you can eat the seafood boil from there. They provide bibs and gloves for no charge. Ultimately, we enjoyed our meals. Everything was flavorful and, unlike some other seafood boil spots, it didn't leave us feeling like we had heartburn afterward. There's a little sink for you to clean your hands at, which is nice since you dont have to wait for the restroom to empty. The service is what was a bit off. Like we asked for 3 Cajun fry boats but only received 2. Drinks were mixed up, and the clam chowder didn't arrive until about 20 minutes after our seafood bags had already been delivered. If you want ranch for your fries, they charge 60 cents for a small container. For drink refills, they bring a pitcher, but it's the kind typically used for measuring ounces. The server also tended to reach across one end of the table to grab empty cups or pass out food. Since I was seated at the end, it felt awkward having to help pass things down, especially since there were other access points to reach people in our party. We left around 920pm. I only mention it because we were the last group there, and we all noticed the heater seemed to have been turned on. Restaurant sign says open til 10pm on Sat. but we saw them turn off their open sign when we went outside. Needless to say, service could have been better.
